Any chance of ings going on loan? Maybe to Burnley now that ward is moving to Watford?

Finglas Red

{Ed002's Note - On the basis that he needs to be eased back in after a lengthy spell out with injury I think a loan would be unlikely this summer.}

I think he needs to be eased back after the time out he has had and that needs to be carefully managed. He could be a useful option at the second half of the season if he has fully recovered.

A bit of an extreme example, but Daniel Menzel, who plays for the aussie rules team I support has had 4 knee recos. He did his last one (hopefully) in 2013. He played his comeback game in the back end of 2015,but is only now getting back to his best. Any of those major knee type injuries need to be managed carefully.

As an aside, anyone who is into sport in general, might want to look up "Dan Menzel — A Long Way Home" on youtube. pretty decent doco.

{Ed001's Note - he doesn't need a work permit, he has dual nationality.}

Hi Ed's thanks for all the great updates
Just wondering with the club being open to loaning out Markovic, are they looking for him to stay in PL or willing to send him to anyone that will take him?

Finglas Red

{Ed001's Note - they want him to go somewhere he will develop.}

I don't understand logic in sending him on loan. I think he can k play regularly as he performance very well for Serbia. Eds hope you elucidate the matter.

{Ed001's Note - because he played poorly last season and his confidence dropped. He needs to ensure he gets regular first team football.}

Maybe we shoud've paid more attention to what Mourinho/Chelsea said about him before we signed him last summer - that he wasn't ready for the Premier League and needed more time with Benfica. Am I right in saying they could've got him for well less than what we paid but knew he wasn't ready? Hopefully a loan move helps because he has potential, showed it in patches last season.

Brisbanelfc, some fans have short memories! I take it you feel it was ok for firmino to drink drive because he’s one of our top players? No wonder ed02 gets pissed off with our fans with ridiculous comments like that.

Eds does anyone know how Klopp meeting dembeles mother for tea and biscuits went? Did we break out the good China and chocolate Kimberly or did we cheap out as usual and give her some rich tea, your info is always appreciated :-) thanks for all the info have a great summer lads.

Ed's, I was just wondering how you rate Robertson, I think he's developing really well and do you know if Klopp is happy with him for the future i. e. not actively looking for a left back, thanks.

Finglas Red

{Ed001's Note - well personally I use a choice modelling system to rate him but I believe Ed003 favours using maximum difference method.}

Hi Ed's, i read that De Boer said Sakho is too expensive, do u think a compromise can be made by Liverpool since he has no future under Klopp?

Finglas Red

{Ed002's Note - We have already been around this loop with Stoke and West Brom. Liverpool are hanging on as long as they can but will need to do something.}

1.) 21 Aug 2017 10:19:13
We've been so clear with wanting rid of him, that I do not understand how the club can take the non-negotiation on price stance that they seem to have.

We don't have any leverage here, take £20m, free up the wages and move on.

2.) 21 Aug 2017 10:24:02
Perhaps we need to lower the initial fee and bump it up with some performance incentives or sell on percentage. Pointless having him sat around our club drawing a wage when he isn't going to be selected.

25 May 2018 14:13:50
Could any I the eds or anyone explain how it is possible for agents to be able to demand a huge fee, can it stop a transfer if the player wants it but the buying club don't agreed the the agents fee demand?

27 Jul 2017 15:27:59
Ed just wondering does he want a specific role in midfield and is worried he'll be second fiddle to hendo?

Finglas Red

{Ed001's Note - he wants to play regularly, especially with a world cup coming up. He is not bothered if it is the deep role or the more advanced role, he just wants to play. There is more than just the return of Hendo to worry him, there is the fact Couts (if staying) is likely to play deeper a lot of the time. There is the attempts to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita, who would both want a berth in the centre. Then there is Robertson coming in, meaning Milner will also be vying for a spot there.}
